Tennis team disappointed after loss to Oklahoma City
By JEFF CRAVENS Sports Editor
The KU men's tennis team was upset in the opening round of the Mid-American Invitational Friday night but came back to capture fifth place with a convincing victory Saturday.
Oklahoma City beat the Jayhawks in the first round 5-4 in a match that KU was favored to win
If the Jayhawks had beaten Oklahoma City, they would have faced WU in the second round. But KU did not get that far.
"Basically, we were very disappointed in the loss," head coach Scott Perelman said. "We had many opportunities to win the match. I think several of our players were looking forward to Wichita State."
"I've got to take the responsibility for not having the team ready to play." Perealm said. "But there is another way to do about it now but learn from it."
The Jayhawks put the lesson to work Saturday morning, blitzing Southern Illinois-Carbondale 9-0. The Jayhawks-Carbondale beat the Jays 4-3.
"I thought we bounced back real well," Perelman said. "We finished late Friday night, then had to come
back and play at 8:30 Saturday morning. We played well, but it was a little too much, too late."
Against Oklahoma City, KU won three singles matches. Freshman Mike Welfon the No. 1 singles in a tough three-set match. Wolf edged Mark Murphy 4-6, 6-1, 7-6. Wolf won five consecutive points in the third-set tie breaker to take the match.
Charles Stearn, at No. 4 singles, and John Cochrane, at No. 6 singles, also won for KU.
"Stearns again played well at 4. "Perlman said. "And John Cochrane has improved to the point where I think he is turning the corner toward being an excellent college tennis player."
Wolf and Michael Center teamed up to win the No. 1 doubles match, beating Murphy and Wayne Shuice 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
The Jayhawks overwhelmed SIU-Carbondale, winning all but two of the matches in straight sets.
Although KU was in the bottom end of the bracket, the team did get a chance to see Big Eight rivals Oklahoma and Alabama State in action.
"Now more than ever, I like our chances in winning the Big Eight championship." Perelman said. "We control our own destiny."

Veteran pitchers Hood, Erickson cut
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Bud Black, a 28-year-old left-hander, will be the Kansas City Royals opening-day pitcher April 2 against the New York Yankees, manager Dick Howser announced yesterday.
THE ROYALS ALSO cut two veteran major-league pitchers yesterday. They released left-hander Dion Hoo, who was 6-3 the past two seasons with the Royals. They also asked waivers on Roger Erickson for the purpose of releasing him from the release Erickson, who has spent time at the majors with the Minnesota Twins and the Yankees, was obtained in a December trade with New York
Black compiled a 10-7 record last year but did not have a decision in two starts against the Yankees. Paul Splittorff, 13-8 last year, and Larry Gura, 11-18 in 1983, will start the two
other games against the Yankees,
Howser said.
The cuts leave 32 players in camp, including outfielder Willie Wilson, who
is on the suspension list for his cocaine conviction in 1983, and pitcher Dennis Leonard, who had knee surgery and is not expected to play until July. The Royals must be down to 25 players by opening day.
IN EXHIBITION ACTION yesterday,
Orlando Sanchez doubled in one run
and scored the winning run in the ninth
game of City City to defeat the Texas Rangers, 4-3.
Sanchez's double scored Butch Davis with the tying run in the ninth. Sanchez later scored the winning run on Onix Concepcion's sacrifice fly off losing
The Rangers went ahead 3-2 in the top of the ninth when Don Scott's sacrifice fly scored Dave Hostetler, who led off the inning with a double.
pitcher Tom Henke
Pat Sheridan, who had two doubles and a homer, ended a 26-inning Royals' scoreless drought with a third-inning homer to right field.
Larry Parrish homered for the Rangers in the sixth innings off Royals' reliever Dan Quisenberry. Rookie pitcher Mark Gubicza improved his record to 2-0 by allowing only one run on four hits in three innings.
Independence falls to San Jacinto in JUCO finals
By United Press International
HUTCHINSON — San Jacinto, Texas, powered by the shooting of 6-foot-8 Walter Berry, beat Independence to take the crown of the National Junior College Athletic Association basketball tournament for the second year in a row.
"No club deserved to win this more." San Jacinto coach Ronnie Arrow said after Saturday night's victory. "We only had one starter back from last year's team and nobody gave us a
chance this season. And yet, we won it again anyway."
SAN JACINTO, led by Berry's 35
points and 18 rebounds, beat Independence, 66-82, to finish the season at 35.2,
maintaining a 27-game winning streak.
"It was a hell of a game, and we're just glad we won it," said Arrow, who also led the Ravens to the No. 1 spot last year.
Independence coach Bob Kivisto seemed to accept defeat gracefully.
Berry, who attended San Jacinto because of academic ineligibility at St John's, was named the tournament's 16-team tournament with an average of more than 30 points and 13 rebounds a game.
The Ravens are the first team to win two straight national titles since Independence claimed the championship in 1977 and 1978.
"We tried our best to bring the championship back to Kansas. Kiveo was one of us."
while Brad Underwood and Carliss Jeter added 22 points apeace.
For San Jacinto, Lew Hill had 20 points. Ron Singleton had 18 and Linwood Moye had 13. Independence was led by Ron Roberts' 24 points.
BERRY COLLECTED 18 points and 11 rebounds in the first half despite sitting out the final five minutes of the half with three fouls. He was 11 of 16 from the field and played the entire second half without foul.
Chosen for the all-tournament team were Moye, Berry, Underwood, Jeter, Owens, Fink, Marshall, Jerome Woolsey, Ind. and Thomas and Nate McMillan of Chosen, Larry Banks of Western Texas and Chuck Glass of Three Rivers
